What's What

Hey there everyone,

I am not keeping nice track of my posts of late. Instead I keep falling behind and switching projects.. hating the stuff I already made and wanting to do things better and different.

I think that I will get there at some point. For now I mean to give you a small update of the current status of my projects and share some pictures I made because I felt like taking them. Mainly because I wanted to see what I managed to collect and paint over the past year.

The medieval army is coming along quite nicely. I have finished about half of the force now minus the banners and some basing. I can't really seem to take nice enough pictures to post here of the progress. Those will follow later.

What is left to paint you ask? So far what is left are the spearmen (12), some light cavalry (6 mounted models) and 1 more heavy cavalry model.


To close out this post I would like to share with you some pictures I took last night of my Dark Age models. Just to liven things up a little.

SAGA Worthy Progress

Hey there,

I made some progress on my SAGA army (armies). I created a new leader and some warriors.

This is what everything looks like right now set up together.




Quite a few new ones but not everything has proper basing yet or is standing next to a decent unit. I will fix that in time and post some pictures of it. 


This is the new leader. I named him Halvar.







These new warriors got finished and I made them with the intention to leave them together. I went with a more pagan look for these.

Valhalla Awaits

When I started this blog I made mention of the fact that I had then recently gotten myself interested in SAGA. A game that hasn't seen much of my table since then. Until now. I recently felt I should maybe explore my models and add some to it. So I did. But I have not yet posted any of them here so I will do so now as I'm already nearing the finishing of a small warband. I have replaced some models with better looking ones.

I love the dark ages, so many interesting cultures and customs. The Pagans' love for life is one that I always found fascinating and kind of envy.

For this project I am creating several warbands again because I do have a playing partner but not one that collects the game too.

The Idea also was that I would build on and when I would feel like playing I could grab models off the shelves that could either serve as Vikings, Anglo-Danes, Anglo-Saxon or maybe even Joms Vikings. I will create several leaders so one can pick those up and choose them for their warbands leader at least.

In the end most of the warriors wear mail and a round shield. I hope to at some point own enough models to make this possible but I think I am well on my way.

Here is a small overview of what is finished so far.





This is my first leader. I named him Tostig. He is accompanied by a saxon banner bearer but that could always represent something else. The bearer is not stuck to the same base.



 A small unit of Warriors.


 And the second.



More to come soon.
